What possible excuse did Wait a While have except that she wasn't good enough?

well, we dont card BC races to suit the strengths of individual horses.
if that were the case, then you can use the 11f running of this race as an excuse for WAW(it would be totally bogus, but its the same argument).

besides, The Board ran just fine at 10f on numerous occassions.
I dont buy the post position thing.
maybe if its a 8f turf race at Belmont where they basically start the race on a turn I would see your point.
but we are talking a 10f race on the inner turf course.
